The fluorescent fixtures drone overhead, washing the endless gray cubicles in a sterile, pale light. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale coffee and the sharp, chemical tang of printer toner. You shift the weight of your cardboard box, the reality of your first day settling like a physical weight across your shoulders as you locate your desk. The background chorus of phone rings and shuffling paper fills the quiet. Then a shadow falls across your monitor screen. "I take it you're new?" The voice is smooth, gently inquisitive. You look up to see an older man with shoulder-length hair, wearing a tailored gray blazer and a matching skirt. His smile is soft, expectant. What do you say?
